Weekly Family Update 6/1/21---The Last Day of School Edition!!!!

 

As I'm writing this last Family Update of the year, trying to be articulate and somehow able to describe how I'm feeling, it really boils down to two words:

THANK YOU. 

I look back on the last 14 months and am amazed at what we've done. Thank you for partnering with us on this wild ride. We truly appreciate our students and families more than we'll ever be able to say. 

I hope your summer is so full of fun, relaxation, and happiness! Looking forward to a full opening for fall 2021!!!!

-From Heather
